The case is effectively concluded with no material financial impact on AECOM. Monitor for any petition for certiorari, though unlikely given the fact-specific, non-precedential nature of the ruling.

Executive Summary
The Ninth Circuit affirmed district court rulings in the contract dispute between Exxon Mobil and AECOM Energy & Construction, denying AECOM's appeal for additional Prompt Payment Act damages ($8M) and prejudgment interest. The core jury award of $64M to AECOM (net $44M after Exxon's $20M award) stands unchanged. The ruling is a minor negative for AECOM but immaterial relative to its $9B market cap.
